What if God was one of us?

    The intro to "St. Theresa" kicks serious ass, as well.

    So is Papa John's Stadium on the back side or the front side?

    The sad thing about Joan Osborne is that she made a really good album. Really good.

    "One of Us" is by far the worst song on the album.

    As founder and generalissimo of SJ's AA, do you get backstage passes from time to time? Maybe for one of the Meadowlands shows, or even Soldier Field? If you don't, you're getting shafted. Might wanna renegotiate. :)

    Re: your question, though, I think we get to hang out with God any time we want -- and that is, any time we see the beautiful complexity of the world, or something that defies our comprehension, or something that makes us realize how lucky we are to be where we're at. Things like watching your first kid being born, or taking in the splendor from a mountain peak in Alaska, or waking up next to someone you love. That is being with God to me. No questions, no stories. No worries. Just peace.

    Not to turn all theological on another thread, but you're right ... we get to hang out with God all the time. I guess what I meant was, can you imagine the emotional feeling you'd get standing in God's presence, walking the Earth with him and conversing with him?

    Relish is pretty high on my Top 10 Albums of the 90s. "Ladder" blows every song away on the album.

    It was Bob Nastanovich, not Malkmus.

    Back side. It's between Churchill Downs and the Fairgrounds.

    Which gives me a chance to share my all-time favourite Weird Al Yankovic parody:

    If god had long hair and a goatee
    And if his eyes were pretty glazed
    If he looked spaced out
    Would you buy his story
    Would you believe he had an eye infection?

    And yeah yeah god looks baked
    Yeah yeah god smells good
    Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
    What if god smoked cannabis?
    Hit the bong like some of us
    Drove a tie-dyed microbus
    And he subscribes to rolling stone

    When god made this place, in the beginning
    Did he plant any seeds?
    Or did he put them there for Adam and Eve
    So they’d be hungry for the apple
    That the snake was always offering

    And yeah yeah god rolls great
    Yeah yeah god smells good
    Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
    What if god smoked cannabis?
    Do you s'pose he had a buzz?
    When he made the platypus
    When he created earth our home
    Does he like pearl jam or the stones?

    And do you think he rolls his own
    Up there in heaven on the throne
    And when the saints go marching home
    Maybe he sits and smokes a bowl.

    Dr. Evil's cover version is a lot better. Tighter and better.

    I read somewhere that Osborne wore a "fake" nose ring (clip on). What a looser. :D
